I want to flush it out really really well, so I was planning on draining the coolant and filling it up with just distilled water. Then, drive for a bit, let it cool, and repeat maybe 3 or 4 times so that I know it's all gone (I don't know what is in there right now). Will driving with just water for a day or so be okay? I'm not going to drive very much, just enough to get it circulated. And, there will not be any freezing temperatures, so that is not a factor to consider.
Thanks for your input.
